About us

Wellington's biggest little live room

Meow Nui is Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington's latest and most ambitious live music venue. A strikingly transformed space built to hold music fans properly, inside the award winning Warren & Mahoney Citadel on Vivian Street. It's the younger, much bigger sibling to Meow Iti on Edward Street.

Accessibility information +

At Meow Nui, we are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all our guests. Below is a guide to the accessibility features of our venue to help you plan your visit.

Ground floor

Ramped entry from the street, with step-free movement across the entrance level, including the bar and the accessible bathrooms.
The auditorium itself is tiered and is not step-free: a small number of steps lead down towards the front of the stage. Talk to our team on arrival and we'll help you find the best spot.
Accessible bathrooms are on the ground floor.
Most concerts at Meow Nui are standing, so check the ticket page for each show's details. Seated events are advertised there too.
A limited number of seats can be set aside for guests who need them, including disabled guests and their companions. Get in touch ahead of the show and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Upstairs / Platinum Lounge

On the mezzanine level and only accessible via stairs. There is currently no lift to this area.
Guests are welcome to use the upstairs space if they are comfortable with the stairs.
The upstairs bathroom is also only accessible via stairs.
Free-flow stools, standing and seating.

Wheelchair section at the bar

A designated wheelchair section is available at the bar. Please note this is a lowered area for ordering drinks, not a viewing area. Talk to our team on the night and we'll get you to a spot with a view.

We understand that accessibility needs vary, and we encourage guests to contact us in advance with any questions or specific requirements. Our team is happy to assist in making your visit as comfortable as possible. Get in touch.

The room

The award winning 1990 Citadel on Vivian Street, rebuilt as Wellington's most ambitious live room. High ceilings, a tiered floor and a mezzanine that puts the crowd on top of the stage, backed by a state of the art PA and lighting rig. And a city that turns out.
